Audubon Society Wildlife Care Center, Portland

Address 5151 NW Cornell Rd, Portland, OR 97210 Map, Website

Kids and parents can go and meet the animals who are recuperating and/or permanent residents in the care center, and then go on a beautiful, very kid-friendly walk/hike on the adjoining trails. It's right in town and a fantastic outing for residents and visitors alike.
